Safety Measures

All construction, including mitigation and safety measures, will be performed with approved permits from the Department of Building in accordance with NYC Building Code.

Noise Mitigation

• All tools and equipment will be maintained in proper working condition
• Any construction equipment that produces loud sounds, such as generators, will be enclosed to reduce noise levels
• Large equipment will be turned off when not in use
• Work will only be carried out during permitted hours
  • Normal working hours are 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday
  • The contractor will apply for after hour variance permits from the Department of Buildings for any work that needs to be done outside of normal working hours

Dust Mitigation

• Large piles of debris or dirt will be sprayed or misted with water to prevent wind from blowing dust around
• Vehicles transporting construction debris will be covered while in motion
• Vehicles entering and exiting the site will travel at low speeds to prevent wind from blowing dust around

Rodent Mitigation

• Contractor will hire an exterminator to perform a walkthrough of the site before excavation begins
• Exterminator will place bait traps, and other control measures, after performing the walkthrough
• Exterminator will perform periodic maintenance throughout construction to determine whether additional exterminating measures are needed
